The House of FUBB is an astro-viewing pavilion designed for public enjoyment and celestial observation. The artist has invented a custom typeface perfectly suited to large architectural projects. FUBB, the name that the artist has given to Exoplanet 452b is an earthlike planet discovered in the Milky Way in 1995. It exists 1400 light years away. The language of space and time come together with the House of FUBB.
Planet 452b (aka FUBB) has similarities to Earth in scale and distance from its sun. FUBB orbits its star 1400 light years away and exists in a goldilocks zone that may foster life. It was discovered in 1995 by the Kepler Telescope, a space-based instrument dedicated to discovering planets like our own. Language, discovery, time and space come together at the House of FUBB.
